re inflatable tyres and the ejector seat....... Dont have to put up with the hassle of changing a flat and can get rid of unwanted guests..

things are different over here. Ive driven a car for ages with no front bumper, a nail in the tyre, no air filter etc. We have no MOT so if it runs and its doesnt attract the police attention, its fair game. My last car (Fiat X1/9) had rotten bodywork to the point it used to skip and...

the Impreza..... i managed to sort it all back out, but my friend (not anymore) is banned from entering the workshop!!!! Idiot!! Bottom end shells are a pig to sort out when mixed up!!

new one from me. While down at the workshop, LOCK THE DOOR!!!!! I was doing my engine and my mate came in, (not a clue about engines, just popped down for a "chat") came in a moved all my bits to one side that id laid out in order!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: A few choice words and he...

oww... was the driver ok??

the torque setting are in the blurb at the begining of the engine section, under torque setting. Make sure you follow the torqueing down sequence correctly or the grooved camshaft bearing will be the least of you worries. Voices

Change my Scooby heads from 2.0ltr to 2.5ltr ones. Better power delivery while still looking like 2.0ltr ones.

Fiat X1/9!!! i have trouble keeping mine in a straight line on the way to work!!!! Mid Engine, rear wheel drive, small, easy to work on and cheap to run. Voices

Part number 0280 155 609. set of four if possible. Desperate urgent like yesterday! :lol: Voices

You have the same problem as me!!!! I have 4 cars and 2 bikes to do and im running out of patience!!! I havent mentioned the Kit car (which is going to be a Dakar/Bowler Wildcat Hybrid) Ill be writing about that in the 4x4 section. Voices

YES!!! I hate them with a vengance so i would buy one and spend the next year thrashing it about the UK racing circuit!! No trailering it to and from, arrive, drive and go home via Sainsburys!! It would have to be a 356. In Black. with yellow stripes. Voices

Waynne, is there an easier way of uploading photos? it seems to give an error message when you load the photos but if you click add modifications it uploads them. The TDR250 site im a Mod on is a PHP site. You have to host it.

Kerbside, have you seen the new Nissan advert for their 4x4 range?? Awesome concept!!! My mate John had a Shogun given to him that had been rolled so he cut off the body and fitted a Suzuki SJ413 body on it!! Looked the bee's knees. Took some doing but it got some abuse when it was done.

1, Finish rebuilding my Impreza engine and refit it. 2, Engine transplant in my X1/9 3, Rewire my race car after it caught fire. 4, Strip and rebuild my Yamaha TDR250 5, have a bloody good clear up selling all the excess stuff on Ebay. 6, Build my 4x4 Kit car! Sell Subaru. All that and...

the only track we have over here is Victoria Avenue Karting Centre. We dont have any tracks over here for car racing, just karting and mini moto racing. The car is for Hillclimbs, Sprints. We do have unofficial tracks on 2 beaches, Autocross (banger racing) on Chouet (pronounced Shoe...

Trooper, i've posted some photos up in the gallery. enjoy

Yes reliabilty can be a bind but the ones i have are ok. Getting a spark is the main problem, the dizzys have adjustable points setting and this moves. My red one has been given a hard life (raced at local hillclimbs and sprints) so has been well maintained. not many engines i know can rev...

ill see about pm'ing you with a photo. its going to be a while but i should be able to do some serious 4x4 driving. Voices

The bike is no1 choice Billy, then the Impreza (when its on the roads) and then the Fiat. Fiat is very rear end happy so i tend to take it out in wet weather. The Impreza will be more of a polish all day and cruise car. My new project will turn some heads. Rotrax kit car chassis and...

if you cant find some wheels then try some from an Alfa Romeo, Lancia early Seat Ibiza and any Fiat. You should be able to find something, I got some TSW Blades for my X1/9, and they look the dangles. Ill send you a PM with a PCD wheel database. You can se what fits then. Yes... i own a...

i agree with kerbside, up grade you oil pump. Im going through a rather messy engine at the moment, busted shells and burnt oil in pick ups etc If you get one go for a 2.5. they have what is called a closed deck block. Mine is 2.0 and it open deck, not much scope for tuning. Gearboxs are...

Your not alone mate, i love em too, but only just beginning. I have a kit car which is having a make over soon. 78" or 80" wheelbased Land/Range rover Hybrid Chassis, 3.5/3.9 V8 motor, hoping for a 4 speed box but might go auto. Mickey Thompson Claws rubber and hi lift kit. I dont...

when doing an engine rebuilt or any kind of work that involves lots of little bits, clear your workbench and lay them out on a piece of brown cardboard. Using a black marker number them 1 to however many you have then you'll know which order they came off, to go back on. A bit anal i know but...
